    No. 54 | My Miscarriage Story Oct 03, 2019
    Show notes

    In honor of Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awareness month, I am breaking the silence of the stigma surrounding loss. I am sharing my own story in detail in an effort to help other women feel less alone and to raise awareness on this often disenfranchised type of loss. I experiences the loss of my 4th pregnancy at 11 weeks and 1 day. I found out at 10 weeks 5 days that I would miscarry. The entire experience has been very difficulty and filled with so much grief and sorrow. I only hope that by sharing my story, other women will feel less alone.

    Positive pregnancy test

    This is an ultrasound picture taken mid-miscarriage. My body started to miscarry naturally, and then scan was done in the office prior to my manual vacuum aspiration (MVA). There was a lot of fluid and debris in my uterus here.

    Family photo taken 6 days after my miscarriage. Getting away with my family out of town was very healing during this difficult time.

    Thank you so much for listening to this episode of the podcast. It was very therapeutic to share my story and I hope that it helps other women feel less alone and more able to share their own stories. Stay tuned to more episodes this month from women sharing their own stories of loss. Thank you again to every person who reached out to me during this difficult time. It has meant the world to me.

    No. 48 | Postpartum Depletion with Shruti of Freshly Moms May 30, 2019
    Show notes

    This week, I chat with Shruti, Founder of Freshly Moms. We dive deep into postpartum depletion...something I never even heard of. Such a valuable episode for ALL mothers!

    BIO:

    Shruti is graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute and a certified nutritionist. Shruti started Freshly Moms during her postpartum period after noticing a lack of easy and clean eating options for new moms. All she could find was lactation cookies and bars which did little beyond increasing the milk quantity. Being from a culture where a new mother's recovery is a primary focus, she got obsessed with spreading awareness about the importance of nourishing a new mother. She also designed snacks, meal-kits and teas with carefully selected organic ingredients that help new moms recover & replenish, along with supporting healthy breastfeeding.
